1997: A 3/4 mile wide F5 tornado demolished much of Jarrell, TX. The tornado ripped asphalt up from roadways. Cattle were thrown a quarter mile away. 27 deaths occurred in the Double Creek subdivision, where the tornado was so strong there were no large pieces of debris -- everything was pulverized. The tornado also moved very slowly, and towards the SSW.
